Running into a bit of delay shipping some stuff I want to ship overseas. Just curious - what does an international cargo ship cost? One that can cross the Pacific. Not looking for exact numbers, just a guesstimate. I just want to see how much it would cost more/less to do an end run around these shipping dum-dums LOL.

Thanks!

You're looking at about $10k to ship to 20 foot container from China to the U.S. right now. I doubt this is a viable solution for your shipping woes.

When the free markets cease to be free. We must do some accounting. Lesson #1. When the cryptocurrency market collapses, where does all the money go? It disappears. When people buy low and sell high, where does the money go? In their bank accounts. So what goes up must come down? Now we need to figure out how real currency disappears. The only way I know of figuring this out. Using dishonest means or fraudulent currency to trace the market makers.

Buy all the ships you want but good luck getting berth space or empties, which is the real problem.

You really are serious about getting your international sex slave ring going, aren't you?

Question is, shouldn't you be asking around on the dark web?

Charters are sky-high - up to $200,000 a day for a container ship. And then you may well sit offshore for days/weeks waiting to unload at dock. We need more docks.

Honestly that would be freaking awesome to just have this big ship right in the bush. Would also confuse archeologists in the future.


Go for a medium-size tanker vessel ... could be the answer to your water-storage problem. (also can serve as a residence!)

Shipping to Timmins kills the deal.

Might need to widen a few roads! :D
